Wilmington on Movies: The Help

 

“The Help” (Three Stars)

U.S.: Tate Taylor, 2011

Like smooth Kentucky Bourbon or hot cornbread and jambalaya, or like Ray Charles’ great bluesy versions of “Georgia on my Mind” and “America the Beautiful,” The Help is old-fashioned, flavorsome stuff — old-fashioned in many good ways, and a few not-so-good ones.

Set in Jackson, Mississippi in 1963, and based on the bestseller by Kathryn Stockett , it feels like one of those warm, feisty, character-rich books that strikes a public chord even if some critics remain uncharmed: the story of a group of African -America women servants, who work for the city’s elite white families. These are quiet (at work), expert women-servants who clean the white folks’ homes, cook their food and raise their babies, and who here participate in a quiet revolt against the traditional conspiracy of silence about the truth of racial matters down South. That kitchen/household Dixie insurgency is spearheaded by two old friends Aibeleen Clark and Minny Jackson, played by Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer , both of whom are about as good as you can possibly be in this kind of movie.

Aibeleen and Minny take their stands quietly, then loudly, by telling their work yarns (often unflattering to their employers, some downright dirty), to one of the most liberal and free-thinking daughters of that elite: returning college student and aspiring writer Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan ( Emma Stone ). Skeeter is stubborn and rebellious, but not Confederate. (Stone is pretty wonderful too, playing here in a more dramatic key than her recent string of saucy contemporary sex comedies: Easy A, Friends with Benefits and Crazy, Stupid, Love .

But for us, I have four sisters; we thought that woman was the most beautiful, stylish woman. We, as black women, we have a different viewpoint of weight, body images and skin tones. So there are a lot of little things that you can't dictate to me.

It's the story of a perky proto-feminist writer (Emma Stone's "Skeeter" Phelan) cajoling black women into standing up for themselves by telling her their stories and letting her publish them in book form. It's about what a good-hearted and tenacious
